Just at the most basic level it is really unhealthy to have to thought about Donald Trump as much as everyone in America has over the last nine or so years. Spending a decade of my life thinking about a super boring, super shitty crook and all the bad stuff he's doing or might do. It's embarrassing.

idk if it’s really true that in N Korea you can’t turn off the radio or if that’s US propaganda, but we’ve had that here.

I care about the country/world and I want to pay close attention, but I can’t let the fate of that man control my happiness. I just want to make my family & friends as happy as I can, be helpful when I’m needed, and then focus on my own sense of well being. All that is hard enough without him.

Remember when? 🤔 CNN and MSNBC, fake "blue" networks, cut away quickly from Bernie Sanders rallies, with huge crowds, to show Trump's EMPTY podium. Text on screen said "Waiting for Trump" as if he were already POTUS, and his dead-air was more important than #MedicareForAll #TaxTheRich or #NoMoreWar

I actually don't think about him that much. It's just a low key background hatred. Well. That's not entirely true. I often wish he would die. I guess that counts as thinking.

The debate sent me spiraling because I hadn't had to hear him lie to the camera and not get called out for about 4 years. It brought 2017 to 2021 rushing back and it was not good. (I know he never stopped, but at least it wasn't on every channel 24/7)
